2010 Summer Racing Camp
On the Charles River – Cambridge MA
June 20th – August 9th
|
|
2009 – Junior Women Quad
|
Participation is open to all female athletes who wish to compete as
Junior or Senior-B
scullers in 2010.
We will improve your technique, fitness and competition skills. One of
our goals is to provide the kind of rewarding learning experience that
encourages our scullers to return on a year-over-year basis.
Camp Dates:
Everyone
20 June, 12:30PM - meeting at the boathouse for all scullers and parents
Instruction 21 June - 2 July (2 weeks)
Competition 21 June - 9 August (7 weeks)
Everyone who expects to compete is welcome to an extra week from 14 - 19 June
as her schedule allows due to the front-loaded racing schedule (see below)
Athletes:
The camp is designed for young women from 14 to 23 years of age with varsity
rowing and/or sculling experience. We will also accept anyone with a good
athletic background who wants to become an accomplished sculler.
Racers should be able to provide a recommendation from their coach attesting to
their competitive spirit. Erg scores are not required but most of our faster
junior scullers have been in the 7:20 - 7:40 range for 2K, with lightweights
just slightly slower. Applications will be accepted on a space available basis; please fill
out the application form
which should be in our hands before May 5th.
Openings limited: 16 scullers
Swim Test/Physical:
All rowers must demonstrate the ability to swim 100 yards and tread water for 10
minutes before attending the camp. You must also submit a copy of a recent physical
(past year) which gives clearance for strenuous physical activity.
Daily Schedule:
Monday-Friday, 9:30AM-12 Noon
Tuesday and/or Thursday, 1:30-3:30PM, for athletes without afternoon commitments
Saturday-Sunday: Regattas as scheduled
We will be expanding our schedule to accomodate women with jobs in the middle of the
day. If you need to know more details before we post those hours, please contact us.
Events and Travel:
We will select our regatta dates from among the following as appropriate:
2 - 4 July Independence Day Regatta, Philadelphia, PA
11 July (Sunday): Cromwell Cup, Cambridge, MA (??)
14-18 July: US Rowing Club National Championships, Oak Ridge, TN
3-8 August: Royal Canadian Henley Regatta, St. Catharines, ONT
Equipment:
Scullers will row in singles and doubles most of the time. We will compete in the
small boats as well as the quad where competition is available. There are no junior
lightweight events in the summer, so lightweights have raced up, either as Senior-B
singles and doubles or even Senior quads.
You are encouraged to bring your own boat and oars if you have them.
Our fleet includes late model Hudson, Sykes and Filippi hulls in all boat classes,
across a range of crew weights.
